"Wreck 'em, of course," he says promptly. "Either with everybody inside, or in a huge pillow fight, or both."

Soph hmmmmms. Then she seizes a long foundational pillow and thwacks both of the boys at the same time.

Wheeeeeeee pillow fight!
Soph is nearly as unfairly good at pillow fights as Tony is at driving-oriented video games. They might have to gang up on her.

So they do.
The walls of the fort are definitely beginning to sag after all three participants have pulled out their first weapons, but it's one of Tony's wild swings that thwacks against the ceiling and pulls one corner completely out of its supporting pillow structure. That end of the blanket settles gently down onto the combatants.

He manages to escape to the fort's opposite corner, where the blanket is still anchored.

She is pretty mighty, it's true!
Either because of something someone did or just because of the general ruckus, the side walls of the fort collapse soon afterward, dropping the whole ceiling on all three of them. Ripper starts giggling uncontrollably.

Soph pops up like a daisy and picks up the pillows that were holding the ceiling in place as long-range weapons.

Tony wriggles out from under the collapsed ceiling to discover that the archway is the only part of the structure still standing. He whoops. "Engineering in action!"

Well at some point she's just going to be in a pile of them, isn't she?
And then she has plenty to throw back!

Soph is faster!
They're bulky, but not too much for her to fling one straight at Ripper's midsection, quite possibly knocking him over.

Knocking him over and onto a pair of beanbags, and completely covering his head and torso, so that he briefly looks like some kind of beanbag monster with human legs.
He sits up, beanbag in his arms, and heaves it back at her.

Tony tackles it out of the air. This is a disadvantage of large slow-moving projectiles. Then he flings a pillow at her head.
